Sheesh. I am hard-pressed to see why there has been 24 hours of full-time lamentation over a very odd and confused man whose only claim to fame is some kid music and sexually confused styles.
I hope his soul was in order and he’s in a better place - but it’s not like he gave his life for his country or something.
Thanks so much for chiming in! I know I speak for many around here who just couldn’t wait to get your take on this matter. What a relief it is to know where you stand and by all means keep us updated on all of your opinions as they are so profound and treasured.
” but its not like he gave his life for his country or something.”
You are right. He did not give his life for the country. He was an entertainer. Someone who a lot of people will miss. He made his mark musically and that was as good an escape for millions of people than just about anything else. It may not have been your cup of tea but to many others, it is sad news.
As far as being odd. He was. He was very rich and eccentric. He did not understand normal activity as he wasn’t living a “normal” life. That being said, he donated a lot of time,money and equipment to Minneapolis Schools and their music programs.
At least he wasn’t doing harm to children like the self proclaimed, King of Pop....
I feel the same. Never understood why people thought he was so awesome. Sad he died so young, though.

Then why post?
His music was part of many of our childhoods and young adult years.
He made great catchy songs that defined the sound of the 80s.
Are we only allowed to listen to people whose songs are either on the country music or Christian music stations?
Prince write music not only for himself, but tons of artists in the 80s.
He was a musical genious.
He was much more talented than Michael Jackson.
I like your tag line. The post, eh. He lived past 27.
I support the right of anyone to emote in any way they deem necessary, whether on the street or in the media. Thank you Lord for earplugs and remote controls.
